Appointment setting campaigns (especially inbound ones) tend to start by just standing around for a bit before engaging prospects. But suppose that your appointment setting campaign were actual people on the street with signs promoting your business. Which part of the street do they stand? Obviously wherever they can be seen!

Using Lead Generation Tips – Control, Not Kill, Enthusiasm
Many IT lead generation campaigns rely on support from additional marketing channels. Things like your IT company websites, a bit of social media presence, and a few blogs could actually make quite a difference in your marketing image.

Your Appointment Setting Strategy Sets You On Stage
By stage, this does not necessarily mean your appointment settingstrategy puts you up as some kind of actor. The stage could be more like one in events (like the AllThingsD D11 conference as described in this LinkedIn article).
